Supporting Health Through Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
Pelvic floor health is an essential aspect of well-being. At Core Wellness Centre in Toronto, we recognize the unique challenges women face during these phases of life and are committed to providing specialized pelvic floor physiotherapy.
Pelvic Floor therapy helps to alleviate discomfort, improve muscle function and restore strength, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way.
What is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physiotherapy that focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues supporting your pelvic organs.
Think of your pelvic floor as a hammock of muscles that supports your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs while playing a critical role in core stability and controlling bladder and bowel function.
When these muscles become too weak or too tight, everyday activities like laughing, exercising, or even walking can become uncomfortable.
The good news? Specialized physiotherapy can help you regain control and confidence, without surgery.
Prevalence of Pelvic Floor Disorders: According to a study published in the Canadian Urological Association Journal, up to 50% of women experience pelvic floor disorders, including urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse, which can significantly impact quality of life.
Effectiveness for Urinary Incontinence: Research published in BMC Urology found that pelvic floor physiotherapy is effective in reducing urinary incontinence symptoms in up to 70% of women. It noted that pelvic floor muscle training was a highly recommended first-line treatment for women with stress urinary incontinence.
Impact on Quality of Life: The Journal of Women’s Health published findings indicating that women who received pelvic floor physiotherapy reported improved quality of life and decreased symptoms related to pelvic floor dysfunction. The therapy was shown to enhance overall functional outcomes and well-being.
